Here is Banshee 1.0 Beta 2 subscribed to the feed and downloading two talks and streaming James' talk at the same time: Banshee subscribed to the GUADEC podcast, downloading and playing items RSS Video Podcast:

    You found a killer application: this was enough to make me install Banshee 1.0 beta from Ubuntu's PPA.

    Now if only fullscreen worked properly, I'd be very happy.

    I could probably work around this by deleting the database and creating a new one but I would prefer a solution where I don't lose all my ratings and stats.

    Ok If found a solution in Bugzilla.

    Just do this and you're fine:

    sqlite3 ~/.config/banshee-1/banshee.db "update CoreConfiguration set Value=10
    where Key='DatabaseVersion'"


    The bug is https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534489

    Thanks for the feed :)

    Just a question... why did you commented the image tag in the XML file?

    @Tim: Yeah...my blog is not the place to report bugs (let alone paste crash traces).

    @Igor: Because I was seeing a bug in Banshee caused by using a PNG, and I'm not sure if other software would handle a PNG either.

    The banshee beta installed perfectly on my openSUSE 10.3 laptop and desktop and this feature worked very well too.

    Only downside is that the audio level of the videos is REALLY low, the speakers are hard to hear even with the volume at 100%.
